1924 Trojan

[Tom Will]

Just got back from shooting the gun for the first time with RST2 1/2 spreader
7 1/2s at skeet. 2-21s, that is about as good as I normally shoot with any of my guns. I have never hit a 25 (yet) but generally stay between 19 and 23 so to say that I like the way the gun fits me and how it handles is an understatement. It's never good when you like a gun too much, you always want another. But, I guess I'm preaching to the choir here. What's really ironic is it only took 1 station to make up my mind. 1 miss was because I'm not used to the double triggers. That will have to change. Just had to tell someone.

Congratulations Tom,I think that Trojan needs a mate....:rolleyes:

Tom, that's just about word for word the same post I made back on the old forum many years ago after my first round of skeet with my first Parker.

Congratulations! (I have yet to break a perfect 25 at skeet but I don't shoot for score, I shoot for grouse-shooting practice)

I echo Dave's words of encouragement in finding a mate for your lonely Trojan.

Well Tom all I can say is now you have done it. You have been infected and there is no known cure. A desire to own more Parkers is going to affect you for the rest of your life :)

Just shoot #9's and you will pick up 2 more birds, I have also figured that you are at a one bird handicap vs the over and under shooters at skeet

Tom,

I think Pat is on to something with #9 shot. I shoot 7 1/2 at just about everything feathered or clay. Yesterday I took a little .410 SXS (I had the stock cut down to 12.5" for the grandchildren) amd shot sporting clays. I shot 2 1/2 and 3" shells with #9 shot and was supprised at how far those loads would break a clay. My father shot a lot of 8 1/2 shot. We called him "school bus" because he would take us to school on shooting.

Good Luck, Harry
